MAINTENANCE
2. Paper element [4]: tap the element lightly several times
on a hard surface to get rid of any loose dirt, or blow
through with compressed air from the inside towards the
outside. Never brush the element, as this causes
impurities to penetrate the fibres. Replace the paper
element if it is very dirty.
3. Foam element
[5]:
- wash the element in a solution of warm water
containing non-foaming household detergent, rinse it
and allow it to dry thoroughly,
or
- clean it in a non-flammable solvent and allow it to dry
thoroughly.
- Dip the element in clean engine oil, then squeeze it to
remove excess oil. If too much oil is left in the foam, the
engine will smoke the next few times it is started.
4. Refit the ring seal [6], the air cleaner elements [4] and [5],
the wing nut [3], and the cover [2] and tighten the wing
nut [1] fully.
CAUTION :
• Do not use the generating set without its air cleaner, as this can damage the engine.
